This collection contributes to that scholarship by exploring the figure of the "working-class intellectual," who both assimilates the anti-authoritarian lexicon of the middle classes to create a new political and cultural identity, and revolutionizes it with the subversive energy of class hostility. Through considering a broad range of writings across key moments of working-class self-expression, the essays reevaluate a host of familiar writers such as Robert Burns, John Thelwall, Charles Dickens, Charles Kingsley, Ann Yearsley, and even Shakespeare, in terms of their role within a working-class constituency. The collection also breaks fresh ground in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century scholarship by shedding light on a number of unfamiliar and underrepresented figures, such as Alexander Somerville, Michael Faraday, and the singer Ned Corvan. 606 $aWorking class$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aWorking class$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWorking class$zGreat Britain$xIntellectual life 606 $aIntellectuals$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aIntellectuals$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life 615 0$aWorking class$xHistory 615 0$aWorking class$xHistory 615 0$aWorking class$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aIntellectuals$xHistory 615 0$aIntellectuals$xHistory 676 $a305.5/62094109033 701 $aKrishnamurthy$b Aruna$0892636 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154687403321 996 $aThe working-class intellectual in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain$91993879 997 $aUNINA
